"The young men charged are indefinitely suspended as we continue to gather information and talk to the appropriate people,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said in a statement. “The University and football program have strict guidelines regarding issues of this magnitude. This behavior is unacceptable for any student-athlete at the University of Alabama and not representative of our football program."

A laptop was allegedly stolen and in a second robbery on Monday, Williams told police he punched a student in the head and face, while Pettway and Hayes watched. Williams said he stole the student's wallet and later used his student identification card and used it to buy snacks from a vending machine in a dormitory.

"This is a very serious matter and we are very disappointed in the actions that have resulted in the charges against these student-athletes," Alabama athletic director Mal Moore said in a statement. "In this type of situation, the Athletics Department works in conjunction with the University. We will have more to say at the appropriate time."

Calloway made headlines before arriving at Alabama—and shortly after. He committed to the Crimson Tide, then switched to rival Auburn and then signed with Alabama on national signing day. He was arrested in October 2011 on charges of second-degree marijuana possession.

Listed as a running back/tight on the Alabama roster, Calloway carried the ball 10 times for 63 yards last season as a sophomore and also recorded eight tackles on special teams.

Williams was a 5-star recruit out of Arnold High School in Panama City, Fla., and freshman defensive back on last year’s team. He did not play.

Pettway was a redshirt freshman defensive lineman last season and saw action in 13 games. He recorded eight tackles, including four tackles for loss and 2½ sacks.

Hayes was a freshman linebacker from Thomasville (Ala.) and also played in 13 games and totaled 14 tackles.
